Speaker Pelosi

The founders intended the commerce clause to ensure the free flow of goods and capital between the states, not as a crutch on which to depend to regulate every single aspect of our lives.

The problem is that far too many people of every political stripe seem to agree with Speaker Pelosi and her grotesque view of the constitution than what the founders meant and wrote. If this seems sclerotic or too strict an interpretation then so be it.
